    Zach kicks sand, yells angry words, and asks his dad if they can just go home now. Instead, his dad teaches him a simple, three-step approach to get a handle on frustration and find a way to enjoy himself even when things aren’t going his way.

When Zach shoves his little brother to the floor, he knows he did something wrong. Even so, it's hard to apologise. Like any seven-year-old, Zach tries to ignore the problem, but finally, with his mom's help, he learns the four steps to apologising:

  • (1) say what you did;
  • (2) tell how it made the other person feel;
  • (3) say what you could have done instead;
  • (4) make it up to the person.

Zach Apologizes teaches children social skills using an apology strategy presented as the 'four-square' apology, which is illustrated with prompts that kids will easily understand and remember.
